Open in HeraeAbout the film
Picnic is a 1955 American romantic comedy-drama film adapted from William Inge's 1953 Pulitzer Prize-winning play of the same name. Joshua Logan, director of the original Broadway stage production, directed the film version, which stars William Holden, Kim Novak, and Rosalind Russell, with Betty Field, Susan Strasberg, and Cliff Robertson in supporting roles. It was adapted for the screen by Daniel Taradash. Picnic was nominated for six Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Supporting Actor (Arthur O'Connell), winning two. The film dramatizes 24 hours in the life of a small Kansas town in the mid-20th century during the Labor Day holiday. It is the story of an outsider whose appearance disrupts and rearranges the lives of those whom he encounters.

How to watch it together from different places
Each of you opens Picnic on your own account. Herae keeps the two players in sync, so a pause or a skip happens for both of you, and puts a video call in the corner of the film so you can see each other react.
